Reading has a lot of benefits for people of all ages.  It keeps the mind sharp and the spirit nourished.  Not a lot of people, however, go to the library to read these days.  There are also fewer people who subscribe to newspapers and magazines.  Nowadays, the more common way for people to get books and other reading materials is through the internet.  I just love how I am able to get everything I need with just a few clicks.  The information can even be filtered for me so I get exactly what I want to read.

It’s not necessary anymore to go to the bookstore to check out what titles are available on the shelves since I can get my books in electronic format over the net.  It’s as easy as downloading into my ebook reader to have all my titles in one nifty gadget to take with me wherever I go.  You think it couldn’t get easier than that to read, but there’s another way to squeeze your reading time into your busy schedule.  I know, that’s the multi-tasker in me speaking.  Getting to the books in my ebook reader is not always convenient.  There’s got to be a way for me to read my books despite my crazy schedule.  Discovering Audible audiobooks is wonderful indeed!  Now, I don’t have to choose between doing my cardio and reading a book.

Audiobooks is definitely the new and more convenient way of reading.  It’s like having someone read aloud to you. It’s not boring, mind you.   The “readers” do the recordings appropriately with the kind of tone and voice inflections necessary to make the stories come alive and to keep the narration interesting.   I can spend hours listening to my favorite titles using my smartphone.  The best thing about it is that I do not have to sacrifice anything on my daily task list.  The books are also less expensive than buying them off the bookstore shelves.

My Audible.com Finds

It’s easy enough to find the book titles you want to read from Audible.com.  I find it convenient to browse through the Audible Bestsellers and the New at Audible pages.  My latest finds include Eric Thomas’ The Secret to Success,  Women Who Love Too Much by Robin Norwood, and All Is Well: Heal Your Body with Medicine, Affirmations, and Intuition by Louise L. Hay and Mona Lisa Schulz MD PhD.

With audiobooks, reading does not have to take a backseat even with my packed to-do list.  It is now possible for me to find pockets of time to indulge my passion for reading and learning.  All I need is my smartphone, a set of earphones, and Audible.com.
